One Sided Limits
Students will be given piecewise functions and asked to evaluate both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit of the function as x approaches a given number, c. Using sliders, students will estimate the value of the missing variable that makes the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit equal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/one-sided-limits_1
Alternating Series
Students will use the capabilities of their handhelds to find limits and compare two series to determine if the alternating series converges or diverges. Then students will approximate the sum of an alternating series by using a table to find partial sums and using the Alternating Series Remainde...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/alternating-series_1
Conics In Winter
Students explore conic graphing using a polar notation equation and determine the effects the various variables on the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conics-in-winter
Application of Area Formulas
Students will be able to find the area of polygons by breaking a polygon into familiar shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-area-formulas
Periodic Table App
This App provides students with a graphical representation of the elements of the Periodic Table. Information includes 15 properties and facts about the 109 known elements. Students get to explore graphs of the periodic nature of the elements.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/periodic-table-app
An ounce of prevention
Students will collect measures off of containers for the volume in both milliliters and ounces. They will set up a plot to determine the relationship between the two measures. Students will predict values for volumes in one unit, given the other.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/an-ounce-of-prevention
How Do Your Errors Grow!
A simple measuring activity allows students to explore the sometimes difficult concept of significant figures, both manually and with the help of the Science Tools App's Sig-Fig Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-your-errors-grow
Fraction Multiplication
This activity uses interactive unit squares to explore the concept of fraction multiplication. The concept of fraction multiplication is developed by considering the area of a unit square that has been partitioned into rectangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fraction-multiplication
Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
This activity uses unit squares to help students investigate addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-fractions-unlike-denom
Dividing a Fraction by a Fraction
This activity uses number lines along with equivalent fractions to help students develop a method for dividing fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-fraction-by-a-fraction
Fractions as Division
In this activity students explore the division of two whole numbers by a fraction. It is important for students to recognize that this concept shows two different ways to think about the same fraction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-as-division
Dividing a Whole Number by a Fraction
This activity uses unit squares to illustrate the division of a whole number by a unit fraction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-whole-number-by-fraction
Dividing a Fraction by a Whole Number
This activity uses a unit square to explore division of a unit fraction and a fraction in general by a whole number.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-a-fraction-by-whole

Mixed Numbers
This activity uses interactive number lines to help students investigate mixed numbers as a way to write improper fractions. Division of a whole number by a smaller whole number results in an improper fraction that can be written as a mixed number. Mixed numbers can be used to find the magnitude ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mixed-numbers
